Guild Wars 2

Up until a year or so ago, I’d arranged and transcribed Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2 music for piano. More recently, I arranged a synthesized Guild Wars 2 Canthan theme. Even though I’m not actively arranging or transcribing Guild Wars music right now, I thought I’d post an archive of my work (videos and sheet music) for you folks to enjoy. The arrangements span about 5 years ago to about a year ago, so the quality of the videos, performances, and sheet music vary, but they’re all below, sorted by game in descending order:

Guild Wars 2:

• The Empire of the Dragon: video
• Dawn in Shaemoor: video (sheet music)
• The Vigil Goes to War: video (sheet music— titled ‘Asura Theme’ in the archive)
• Guild Wars 2 Theme: video (sheet music)
• Guild Wars 2 Arrangement: video (sheet music)
• The Races of Tyria: video
• Guild Wars 2 Teaser Trailer: video (sheet music)

Guild Wars: Eye of the North:

• Overture from Eye of the North: video (sheet music)

Guild Wars Nightfall:

• Land of the Golden Sun: video (sheet music)

Guild Wars Factions:

• Age of the Dragon: video (sheet music)
• Guild Wars Factions Theme: video (sheet music)

• Eye of the Storm: video (sheet music)

Miscellaneous:

Note that if I upload anything in the future, I’ll post it via my YouTube account shewstr, not BranShew7, and of course, I’ll update this post.

Wonderful, thank you, Shew! I appreciate all your creative contributions to the community over the years.

It’s been rewarding to be a part of this community over the years! Thanks for the feedback!

You play beautifully. I really did enjoy your work, and listening to the EoTN and Factions music almost made me cry. Thank you!

Great Job! The “Overture from Eye of the North” had me feeling nostalgic….

Anyone know where I might find sheet music for Brass? I play french horn but it’s hard to find good sources.

Thanks, folks. Appreciate the feedback!

I haven’t seen any around, but I’ll keep my eyes peeled. You might be able to get away with using some of the above sheets as a basis if you can parse the melodies from ‘em (and potentially transpose ’em). If you’re going to try that out, I’d recommend starting with “The Vigil Goes to War” since the accompaniment is easier to deduce from the melody than it is with some of the other pieces.
